@vixen: ooh do u have a straightforward process u follow every time?? curious what ur process is usually like ^^
i haven't heard of gradient shade as a step before :3 i bet that adds a nice touch to the piece!

@xvz: gradient shade is what i call adding a very light color variation on the flat color. it adds a little bit of visual interest so when you overlay a multiply layer for shadow, the shadow also isn't as bland if that makes sense. it's similar to doing soft shadows but lighter and changes hue.

it depends on what i'm doing, but i generally have these steps and i cut out stuff depending on how clean the final piece is, and possibly cycle back and forth between shadow/highlight if there is extra fine tuning and depth issues:
1. sketch
2. line art
3. flat colors
4. gradient shading
5. soft shadow
6. hard shadow
7. soft highlight highlight
8. hard outline highlight
9. glow + color dodge
10. reflection shadow
11. watermark + signature

oohh i hadn't heard of that before but i think i can picture it... like ur just adding gradients over the flats , in the direction of the shadows , before you do shadows?
seems like u have a good process down :0
i loosely have one but it always ends up being a little different every time

i think i'm kind of set on wanting to develop a painted style but i find it so much less straightforward than good ol cel shading and i get imposter syndromey about it every time :s and have to pep talk myself into finishing it / in order to keep going lol
i think if i keep at it i'll get it down but i do think abt going back to My Old Friend Lineart every now and then , i feel like the process is like ... . maybe more enjoyable haha ? and probably faster honestly

@xvz: yeah a very very soft gradient with the main goal of adding color variant.

whatever works for you is best? there are ways to merge lineless and lineart with painting over lineart so that it blends into the color, while still maintaining the sharpness of the lineart. the only way i've done it is pretty time consuming though, so it's not something i do often unless i'm in a mood for portrait-y styled things.

also what is this "style" you speak of?
everything i draw looks like a different person drew it each time LOL

Good morning.

How are you?

I am... sleepy. I'm gonna try to not have coffee this morning.

@0v7: Are you likely to get a headache from having no caffeine?

Wildfire

Friend PM Trade

And is there a reason why you're sleepy today?
I stayed up far too late last night (I'm not used to it any more).

"You've had too much of the digital love -

@Wildfire: It's either that, or my alters are taking control too fast. Yesterday I was only active for like, 4 hours?? and I had SUCH a headache.

Also, I did the same - staying up too late.

@0v7: Well, I can't advise you on dealing with your alters at all, but I did notice that you were quieter than usual. I don't know who might have done what though, in terms of caffeine, etc., because I was pretty distracted myself yesterday tbh. Hopefully today will be a calmer day for you and you can avoid the headache

@Wildfire: Miss Sunny had 2 cups of coffee yesterday morning, apparently... but other than that, no idea. Hopefully I'm here for most of the day - I wanna hang out with my best friend :0
